Maalabor

Art organisation Maalabor aims to promote and support artistic and cultural activities, natural farming, and self-knowledge. Park is to be cultivated as an open space, though with certain intentions towards community, towards discussions and towards experimentation in other fields of thoughts. Site is in remote area at Southwest Estonia, next to coast line of the Baltic Sea. The park is a biodiverse area of about 3 hectares and divides into two parts – Costal Area and Outdoor Sustainable Management Area; the landscape consists of woodland, junipers and seaside. The other part of the park is preserved for birds and other wildlife, and so are restricted to public access. Residents can observe wildlife or attend the guided tour arranged by festival team in order to visit the restricted areas. We want to give opportunities to people to interact with nature, as well as acknowledge the importance of environmental preservation.The area is a major stopover site for migrating birds, especially waterfowl and shorebirds, and is an important breeding ground for many species; 10 000 000 birds are believed to fly over the area during migration time. It is a great inhabitat for a rich variety of plants and organisms. | FB: www.facebook.com/maalabor | e-mail: maalabor@gmail.com
